The Single Best Makeup Tip for Short Eyelashes

Just because you weren’t born with lashes for days doesn’t mean you have to resort to expensive eyelash extensions or a lash lift. The fix lies in the magic of makeup—specifically one tip we recently discovered.

First, curling is key. Start at the inner corner of your eye and position the curler as close to your lash line as possible without pinching the skin. Hold for ten seconds before moving to the outer corner and repeating as necessary.

But the big secret: Use a skinny mascara wand. It all comes down to choosing the right shape. Look for a straight, skinny brush that will reach every lash. Then just lift and separate.
